cornerstone was installed on the new fellowship hall addition to the church.

The Smooth

The Rt. Rev.

Frank C. Cummings, Bishop of the 6 th Episcopal District, was

the keynote speaker and spoke to the congregation from 1 Peter 2:6: "Wherefore

also it is contained in the scripture, behold, I lay in Sion a chief cornerstone,

elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded."

With prayers

for Holly Grove's continued success, the congregation followed the bishop

to the location of the cornerstone.

Also present

at the dedication was Peachtree City Mayor Steve Brown who spoke of the

struggles Holly Grove has endured in the last several years. Brown commended

the audience for its exemplary handling of each of the situations which

have arisen concerning its position in the community.

"There

will be other struggles, but Peachtree City is behind you 100 percent,"

Brown said.
